Pennsylvania’s S&T Bank has hired a pair of Advantage Bank loan officers with extensive experience at Huntington National Bank to staff its first office in Central Ohio.

The $4.6 billion-asset bank named Carol Gillette Smith and Brad Smith as senior vice presidents and commercial lenders to staff a planned branch in the Dublin area. S&T is scouting locations for what would be its western-most outpost, said Chief Loan Officer Dave Antolik, and has zeroed in on renting northwest of Columbus.
